Doubleshot for the banking class

I took the espresso doubleshot from Starbucks to keep me going with my F506 prep today and guess what happened... I am shaking now. My head is spinning cd16ccf403eb6417a168a46d179433ce.jpgand my stomach is hurt. Have I told you that caffeine and I is not a good match?

I just hope that those 3 chapters will still remain in my head until Thursday morning. Oh by the way, the A546 presentation was not so bad. It's one thing I consider to celebrate (means three more to go). Other small thing worthnoted is about 2 IU football players getting the NFL draft in the first round. Tracy Porter is picked by the Saints and James Hardy by the Buffalo.

Caffeine experience

5e97c7b0948f42cfa464096babcfcd44.jpgI can’t believe that the semester is almost over. 4 more days and I’m done. A half-MBA. Sounds great.

I wouldn’t put much stuff in this blog now since I’m totally exhausted after finishing my project with A546. It’s a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t complain. I got great teammates, very good professor to consult with, and interesting case with General Motor. I considered that 689 pages of financial statement interesting (instead of intimidating) to make myself be in positive manner.

I started to a little bit depend on the caffeine to keep me awake. It worked fine when I had to go through all the chapters in G572 last term. And now, I think I will need more caffeine for the three finals in Thursday.  After Thursday, I will officially announce that the spring has come for me.

When it comes to caffeine, I’m not talking about Starbucks. I like Starbucks, but it’s just for fun except one time. I remember when Ika and I were in Chicago in mid December. We were freezing and we definitely needed something to make us warm before continuing our walking. I said I wanted whatever she ordered. I didn’t realize that Ika ordered Frappucino and we both ended up sucking the ice. Cool but not so fun. But hey, that’s what people say about the Starbucks experience !

I'll take some rest now for couple of hours then be prepared for the presentation tomorrow morning. One step at the time.
